Right @carlgnash,
Sometimes ads reflect closely to how things are, just trying to sell their product into a niche that is already present.

But often ads are trying to sell you up. To convince you that you need this or that in order to have a better life or more fun or something.

Ads are never a perfect reflection of the way things are....if they were, there would be nothing to sell.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! I hope you are doing well my friend!!

Peace
